Mouse Distance from Computer

I was wondering if there was a way to determine a wireless mouse's distance from the computer via its dongle?

I feel there should be since the mouse and its dongle communicate and there would be a difference in the time {however small} it takes depending on where the mouse is. It should be just a matter of getting the dongle to tell you that time period and using VisualBasic to convert that to inches then using that info in a program.

I'm asking because I have a mouse I'm no longer using {got a newer one in which the battery lasts MUCH longer} and I was thinking about hacking the old mouse insides into a glove. With the location info used in a program. So instead of using a mouse on the table the User could move the glove in a particular location {distance} from the dongle - perhaps a bit further than when your hand is on the keyboard so you're not triggering mouse events when typing. The mouse buttons can be in the fingertips - activated by touching the thumb to the Index/Middle/Ring fingers. Maybe "scroll" by running the thumb along the Middle finger.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any information on this. Thanks in advance!!!

Peace to you and yours,
Matthew "Dra'Gon" Stohler
